It seems almost too on the nose for Belichick and the Patriots to pick the top punter, especially one from Rutgers. He was a five-year starter at UCLA and completed 69 percent of his passes last season while averaging 8.3 yards per attempt and throwing 27 touchdowns to 10 interceptions. The Patriots like to add developmental signal callers on Day 3 of the draft and they liked working with Thompson-Robinson at the Shrine Bowl in February. Abdullah plays linebacker much differently than Mapu would. He’s an off-ball linebacker who would be best served rushing the passer. He’s a four-year starter who broke out the last two seasons, totaling a combined 19.5 sacks in 26 games. The Patriots did select Marte Mapu in the third round, but they announced him as a linebacker and Taylor is more of a deep safety. He returned a kick for a touchdown, returned a fumble for a score and blocked a field goal during his college career. He has the speed and range to be a deep free safety, but it’s his ability on special teams that could endear him to Belichick. He has decent size (6-foot-1, 203 pounds) and does a lot of things right even if he doesn’t have one elite trait. He’s coming off a productive career with a college program Bill Belichick respects, setting the Iowa State record with 107 receptions last season. For a Patriots team that needs a young offensive tackle (even if they’re limited to the right side), Jones seems like a natural fit. Jones has a gigantic wingspan and can be a bully as a run blocker. 62 player overall and earned a second-round grade. It’s not entirely clear why the massive (6-foot-8, 374 pounds) right tackle has fallen this far. best available prospects for Day 3 of the NFL Draft: So whom could the team target on Saturday? Let’s look at some of the best players still available. New England has already addressed cornerback, edge rusher and safety. After opening with picks on defense in each of the first three rounds, the Pats will probably target offense, while, per usual, keeping an eye on developmental players and special-teamers.
